Do you want your own clone? What are the advantages and disadvantages of cloning people?

Do you agree with the cloning of working animals such as police dogs? How do you feel about the cloning of animals that we eat, such as cows?

English Checkercloning: the process of making a copy of an animal or other organism asexually (non-sexually)
clone: an animal or other organism that is the exact copy of another, and produced from it asexually

I'm against cloning and wouldnt like to have my own clone...Just imagine how awful it would be, to run into your own copy just walking along some street one of these days...
Each of us is an individual personality...we are all different that's why world isn't bouring As for cloning animals, i can't make up my mind...if it would help starving people, it's good and needed...but in the other hand, cloning is against the nature..who could predict the consequences..

I don't want to have a clone of myself... I think each one is an individual human being and that must be respected.
Making "copies" of someone only can bring psychological damages... For the human beings is going to be hard to see somebody else just like them and for the "clone" is going to be very difficult to find their own identity.

I am always suspect of that a clone can really bring something in exact a copy . Should be some difference from the original . right ? To me ,Clone is just providing a new way for human being self -copy, re-generate . Right now it doesnot have much meaning , But it is a new technology which can't be banned and also we are unable to ban it with more and more this society developed . one day .It is destined to get into every corner of our life , Most of us will not accept it right now , But our descendant may say yes to them !

I feel there is so much population in world that no UNNECESSARY people for playing (for understanding) are required ...

Moreover, as you think of cloning, there are other billionaires, millionaires who think in the same way, similarly terrorists might think in the same way.. Can we really bear up the load of so many terrrorist ? The answer is NO. So we should avoid cloning. Many countries had banned cloning because of the same reason !!

Enjoy

Life is very short (max 100 years normally), so enjoy every moment of it

definitely not.i always think i am an unique one in this world or maybe in this universe . if i have my own clone, that' not me,only someone have the same G as me. that means nothing to me. if i died one day, the clone would not instead of me. and i don't think my parents and friends will accept it as me .

I am totally against cloning!...Concerning the animal testing part or cloning I think it's a waste of time 'coz no one will ever eat cloned animals...just think of the idea of a cloned animal and you'll get sick 'coz that meat is a fake...As for me I don't want to live for ever, like over 100 years old...This life is enough for me, I don't need another one...And, above all, I'm unique!

That's not cloning. Please read more about cloning. How can they clone a child if they haven't had one in the first place? Cloning= duplicate. I hope this give you the idea of cloning.

Well, I mean if cloning technology is successful, couples that cannot give births may adopt cloning children.Adopting normal children has many problems.They may leave their adopted children when they find their true parent.

oh I get it now, cloning means creating many others who look like the same as the origin.Thanks much Lenne Tran.
Ah it is quite interesting ,you have many copies of yourself. Well,let's imagine your lover cannot find you among these clonning ones.

I don't think that's the case, Arale. Although children might go back to find their biological parents when they get older, they'll still stick with their adopted parents. It's the love we're talking about here. I don't think they will throw away all the years that their adopted parents have been raising them. In fact, it's inhuman to leave their adopted parents. Those are people who were willing to open their arms when they were neglected. Do you think it's right for them to forget all that years? By the way, orphans are everywhere. Why would a couple need a clone? Children cloning happened only when the parents lost their babies and they wanted to bring them back since they couldn't handle the pain or let go of it, I think.

But clonning is still a question unsolved for scientists.I read some cartoon stories that talk about cloning people and their cruelty.They have no emotion and kill the origins to control the world.The earth may be lost in clonning people's hand one day !hehe.....

Yup yup... that's right. That's why most of us are against cloning. We had one Hitler in the past who were trying to dominate the world, who knows we will have another Hitler in the future or not. If human cloning is possible, it could bring good plus bad doings. The good doing could be the scientists could learn more about the diseases if they cloned their patients. They could try the new medicines on those clones--kinda inhuman to me though. Although they were clones, they still were counted as humans, weren't they? The wrong doings would be someone, some group or some race tried to dominate another. Serial killers would clone themselves to do more serious killings. Psyscho people would clone themselves to manipulate others, on and on such and such. In overall, it's not a good idea to try to success on human cloning. More bad things would happen than goods.
